Random Thoughts Part 5: Time to Split Again

[Pepper Mint]

I have no idea what is going on with some people on PF from time to time. Some are grumpy and baffled.

I'd like so much to answer grumpy and baffled. But it's so hard to express irony and sarcasm by only words. And smileys aren't much of a comfort, too.

I dunno, some people do a pretty good job at it!

I've recently read a list about religious positions, witches and alike. It ended with the statement: "Well, if Satan is the reasonable choice."

But remember that Satan is just a misspelling of Santa.

I almost immediately associated Coke with Santa. I am a Coke guy, I don't like Pepsi. And their ads have always really good songs.

I also read recently that 666 was really meant as an encryption of Caesar Nero because it sounds similar in (old?) Hebrew. No idea whether this is true, it's been on an Australian site.

Btw.: I've had a heavy debate today about helping someone in case of an accident. I said the US would be the only country I wouldn't help because I'd fear the lawsuit if something goes wrong. Some applauded me and others said there is no need to fear for samaritan laws. I doubt that they protect you from a civil lawsuit. However, I'm not 100% sure. Do you know something about it?

It's even even! Odd, isn't it?

At least it's symmetrical.
The even even part anyway

Before my coffee, I am sleepy and dopey.

Do you mean the permutation Santa<--> Satan?

It seems the Japanese are close to coming out with a toilet that will provide an biochemical analysis of one's "output" (Seems one must use euphemisms for these types of issues in the West. I hear in Japan it is common to talk about it openly, even with people one is not familiar with.)

Where? On the Hydraulic Press Channel, of course.

I dearly hope this won't become an app for smartphones ...

Don't worry, you will only get the analysis on your smartphone, nothing else. And, yes, it is intended as an app for smartphones.

The last thing I need: a toilet which tells me I better shouldn't have eaten the steak and complains about the absence of veggies.

And it does it with a nagging voice: " Fresh_42, I know you know better. Did I tell you not to eat the steak? Yes. But do you ever listen? Nooo, and then you complain..."

I realized that I click "like" some people's posts just because they are liked by some other people. I actually didn't finish reading or read the whole posts myself.

Connectors can become dislodged.

Have you tried turning it off and on again? (I'm ready to start working tech support)

Guess that was it for me with the MWI ...

How do I manage to achieve @Mark44's magnificent stoicism or @micromass' patience with me when I repeatedly fall into a pithole of a dense set.
Any suggestions? Is that genetic?

Careful with the closure operator or you will be crushed.

The eye strain is strong with this one.

Yep, I fought with myself. Then I thought it would be somehow rude to talk about people, even if in a positive way, without letting them know.
So politeness won over fear, or should I say angst here?

I don't suppose it's good for a person to eat three pounds of blueberries in one sitting.
